Chapter 619: The Blue Star Guiding the Way Ahead (Second update, 5600)
When Yin En and Isengard returned home, they were keenly aware that there were people in the house and it was very lively.
In addition to Yin En, there are also two fairies, Frost Butterfly and Miss Huayan, who live in Isengard Residence. Occasionally, Mo Feng will come over as a guest.
But with the movement of the three of them, it is absolutely impossible to make it so big that the whole room is brightly lit.
However, after the two came to the door, the movement in the house suddenly became quieter, and even the lights dimmed.
Yin En and Yi Sen looked at each other, and Yi Sen whispered: "I don't know... I haven't been home much recently, so I don't know for sure."
"It can't be a group of goblins planning to assassinate us, right?"
Yin En complained, he shook his head and walked forward, opening the door: "Let's see what's going on... Ouch?!"
As soon as the white-haired boy opened the door, he was hit in the chest by a small, cold object. He was not injured. If he was really injured, he might not be able to breathe.
But taking this into consideration, he still said "Oh", then took a few steps back and hugged the little thing in his arms: "Frost butterfly?"
"Father--"
Frost Butterfly's voice sounded. She obviously had no idea that Yin En was injured, so she flew over like this... But it's not a big problem, since fairies are like this anyway, no one would think it's a big deal.
Yin En raised his head and looked indoors, and found that behind the frost butterflies there were various fairies with dozens of colorful wings and more than a dozen different wings, curiously poking their heads out of the hall and looking at Yin En and Isengard.
"This..." Yisen was obviously confused. He didn't know that he hadn't been home for a few days, so why did his house become a fairy town and an imperial capital?
"Yin En——"
Naturally, Hua An and Mo Feng were also among the group of goblins. The two goblin ladies flew out and circled Yin En several times, observing the boy's condition from all directions. After confirming that Yin En's aura was normal, they couldn't help but cheer.
Get up: "Okay! You're fine!"
"Okay!" The goblins behind cheered in harmony.
After Yin En, Hua An and Mo Feng finished chatting, he and Yi Sen figured out that it turned out to be because of the fairy souls in Avak's laboratory.
If Yin En had not found part of the fairy soul in the Azure City Laboratory and told the Huaiguang Rescue Team the corresponding fairy aura, the Huaiguang Rescue Team would not have been able to obtain the other part of the fairy soul from the central laboratory—
—This is part of the truth announced by Huijian.
He did not lie. If it weren't for the information provided by Yin En, they would indeed not have been able to find the Soul Binding Pillar.
There are a lot of goblins who have been victimized, and naturally there are also a lot of relatives and friends. Recently, Falling Star City has been putting pressure on the Flying Flame Land and the Empire, demanding that the murderer and mastermind of Avak Laboratory be handed over.
Although the real masterminds are basically all dead, and Archduke Thorin has disappeared recently, don't expect to pay no price at all.
A goblin instructor came to the imperial capital to negotiate with the imperial capital in person, and the upper echelons of the empire had to face up to the problem - even the Lingzhiyuan could not keep people, a chief director resigned, many leaders resigned, and compensation was being negotiated.
It is also during this recent period that the density of goblins in the imperial capital has increased by an astonishing ten times, and these goblins regard Yin En as one of the benefactors who rescued their friends.
A benefactor, of course, I have to thank you.
The door of Isengard's house was closed, the lights were turned on again, and fairies with names ranging from high art to easy to understand flew up one by one, introducing themselves to Yin En and the owner of the house, Isengard - from mirage to
Rime, from baked stone to mudstone, is simply a lesson in fairy name appreciation for Yin En.
The goblins have prepared all kinds of goblin-specific delicacies here, from the fire dragon soup that Yin En has tasted to the ice light wine that he has never tasted, as well as various desserts and cakes, just waiting for Yin Ensu to wake up.
A banquet.
As for why they know...
Hua An asked Master Gesai.
Yin En rarely attended such celebratory banquets. He did attend Harvest Festival in Harrison Port a few times, but that was just for everyone to get together to eat and drink. Even if they had some ale, fish, meat and roasted chicken, it was quite sumptuous.
There are indeed some things in the banquet prepared by the goblins that are difficult for humans to understand, such as a white roasted salt stone... It is said that this is a very, very high purity rock salt, which is also rich in wrathful iron, a kind of
Sublimated minerals that heat up and cool down depending on your mood can be used as alchemy materials, but they are a delicacy that earth-type fairies particularly like.
It is said that when they taste roasted salt stones, they can rarely feel the same 'taste' and 'deliciousness' as humans. From their description, it seems to be a kind of delicious popping candy.
In this regard, Yin En could only admit that he was not very elf. He took a bite under the expectant eyes of the elf who prepared the dish, and felt that it was only 'salty'.
It's not enough, but the sublimation organs in his body don't think so - the pure earth element contained in it can strengthen endurance and physical fitness in a short time. The effect of earth sublimation is even better, which is perfect for patients.
If Yin En was really injured, he would probably like this dish very much.
“Very delicious, very delicious!”
Yin En finished the roasted salt stone with tears in his eyes - he acted and he had to act to the end!
Yi Sen secretly laughed at Yin En, but who knew that after hearing Yin En's praise, the earth fairy happily took out another portion from the kitchen and placed it in front of the blond boy - this was a tribute to the owner of the house.
Gratitude - Isengard's face changed slightly immediately, but the good education and the gazes of Yin En and the goblins still made him eat this portion with tears.
“Very delicious, very delicious!”
The goblin's banquet was very happy. Even Yin En and Yisen, whose tastes were assaulted by a huge amount of salt blocks, felt very happy. This relaxing atmosphere has a great effect on restoring the mood, especially for two people who are worried.
For many people, it can be a good way to boost their spirits and improve their sanity.
It was late at night soon, and all the goblins took their leave one after another. Before leaving, they even packed all the dishes in the house, not only washing the dishes but also cleaning.
"I originally thought that goblins are just messy guys, but I didn't expect that they would help the master clean up... This is too polite!" This is Yin En's emotion.
No wonder goblins like to hold banquets. If every guest had this kind of consciousness, Yin En would also want to hold banquets every day.
"Mo Feng will return to Fairy Country tomorrow."
There were only two people and two goblins left in the room. Hua An held the frost butterfly floating in the air and said, explaining why Mo Feng didn't stay: "Those victim goblins are very important, and they want to make the empire and Feiyan Land
For the official to admit an apology, there must be a victim's testimony... Speaking of which, this matter may have some impact on you, Yin En."
"After all, it was you who cooperated with the Huaiguang Rescue Team to rescue them. Will the empire persecute you for this?"
When he said this, Hua An looked quite worried.
"How is that possible?" Yin En said with a smile: "At most, the Lingzhi Academy is unhappy with me, but the Lingzhi Academy is just a hill in the empire. Some people think that I have done a good job - don't think that the entire empire is united, or even just...
Even those within the Lingzhiyuan may not have this idea."
"That's good."
Hua An let out a long breath, Shuangdie also took a long breath, and the air suddenly became a little cooler: "By the way Yin En, my senior said she wants to see you! She has something to attend.
I didn’t have time to attend the banquet for the negotiations on the empire’s side, but it should be coming soon.”
"Your senior?" Yin Enqing was stunned, but he quickly reacted: "That... goblin mentor?"
"Yes." Hua An nodded slightly. Apparently, the teacher sent by the Fairy Country to the Imperial Capital to negotiate with the Empire was Hua An's teacher, a fourth-level fairy mentor.
"That one..."
Yin En recalled the other party's name: "Gansong·Frozen Fish..."
As soon as these words were spoken, no matter Yin En, Isengard, Hua An and Shuang Die, they all felt a clear and dry breath.
Just like climbing a high mountain for half a day, a gust of cool breeze suddenly greeted me halfway up the mountain, gently caressing my heart.
——No way, you can just say your name?
Yin En turned his head and looked at the door. He glanced at Ethan. When he saw the other person nodded, the white-haired boy stood up and went to open the door.
Sure enough, there was a fairy floating quietly in the air at the door. She had white hair and green eyes, and was beautiful. She was smiling and dressed very plainly. Apart from a slightly old research robe, she only had a blue star on her neck.
gemstone pendant.
"Hello, Mr. Yin En, I am Gansong Dongyu. Hua An and the others have been taken care of during this period of time."
When Yin En heard the voice of this goblin mentor, he felt like spring rain dripping from the sky on the lake, or like the summer breeze blowing through the leaves. It was indescribably smooth and pleasant, as if it was the condensation of many beautiful memories.
At this moment, the young man suddenly understood why goblins claim to be a 'beautiful' race.
This is indeed worthy of its name.
"Hello, Ms. Gansong..." Facing this fourth-level person, one of the top leaders of Paradise Township, Yin En naturally did not dare to neglect him. He invited the white-haired fairy lady into the room, but the other party was slightly confused. He shook his head and refused: "No, no, there are still many things to be busy with next."
"The main reason I came here this time is because I have something to tell you."
Teacher Gan Song squinted her eyes, her green gem-like eyes flashing with faint fluorescence. She glanced at Hua An and Frost Butterfly who were flying out, as well as Isengard following behind, and smiled at these people. , then continued to look at Yin En: "When you were injured and unconscious, I visited you once."
When she said this, the surrounding vegetation and wind echoed slightly, bringing with it a fresh breath: "At that time, I felt that your injury was not serious... but there was a very strong, but not much malicious smell. The will of death resides in you. That may be the source of your true coma."
"I didn't quite understand it at first, but after learning the full story of the Avak Territory incident, I came up with a guess - you may have been infiltrated by the many dead souls living there, and their despair and hatred led to the fall of the virtual realm."
"And you, because of the characteristics of a fairy, can easily resonate with the surrounding environment."
——Does this mean you have seen some clues about the dead king? No, it should be exactly what she said, but the dead king has aggravated this aura.
Yin En's heart tightened slightly, but he wasn't too nervous.
But the young man once again confirmed in his heart that he still had to return to Nanling.
There are so many masters and strong men in the Imperial City, and they can all see the slightest flaw.
"I'm here to help you solve this sequelae."
Instructor Gan Song smiled at Yin En, and then, a gentle wave of spiritual energy overflowed and slowly approached Yin En: "If you are willing, I can help you."
Yin En was instinctively wary at first, but after thinking about something later, he took the initiative to touch Gan Song's spiritual energy.
A breeze blew by.
In an instant, he felt as if he was on the top of a mountain, with boundless white clouds spreading beneath his feet.
The young man stands alone in the center of the vast world. The howling wind blows from top to bottom, causing the sky to shake. There is also an earthquake that seems to come from the center of the earth and shakes the mountains.
And at the top of this mountain, which is boundless and lonely, but connected with the heaven and earth, there is a small nard root taking root in the crack of the rock, swaying in the wind.
When Yin En saw this small nard, he suddenly felt a sense of tranquility from his heart, as if he was the only one left in the world, all the foreign objects that did not belong to him, and everything that was independent of himself. All of them went away with the wind and were never seen again.
Yin En's spirit and soul kept falling, falling... until he was on the verge of virtual reality, until he was in a hazy hallucination.
He fell into a dream.
This dream only lasts for a moment, like raindrops hanging in the wind, like dust floating in the valley.
Yin En dreamed about the heavy rain all day long in Harrison Port, about a mighty storm, and about a tired and weak woman stroking her head and then closing her eyes forever. He dreamed about the old knight in the backyard.
Xichai taught himself the most precious knowledge in this world, and a vast picture scroll slowly unfolded under the knight's narration.
He dreamed of a sword. A dark, solid, immovable iron sword. He never loved swords, never liked fighting, but this world made him have to raise the sword before he could talk about anything else.
If this is the case, then swing your sword and cut off the shackles of this world.
Yin En felt that his self was stretching infinitely, and his anxious and sad heart found some peace.
He dreamed of those long-dead moments in the past, the dark moon turmoil that buried the sun of an era, the imperial capital shook, and the lonely mountain collapsed. He dreamed of the sky falling into the world, the new moon shattering, and the sky filled with shooting stars and fire.
The rain cut scorching fire marks on the top of the sky, and a doll and a hand were buried in the ruins of the city, telling the passing of a beautiful era.
This kind of thing may happen a second time or a third time, until all living beings are completely destroyed, and there is no hope or future left.
Yin En's mind gradually became clearer and quieter. He finally understood that those were the traces given to his mind by others, such as mother and teacher, battles and anxiety, whether it was the Dark Moon turmoil or the disaster of falling from the sky.
He dreamed of things that might happen in the future. Swarms of insects screamed in the sky, churned in the center of the earth, and hot blood flowed through his teeth, but could not satisfy the desire deep in his heart; the giant beast of spiritual disaster
Breaking free from the eggshell made by the planet, she ran towards the distance, but she still had endless regrets in her heart.
These are all dreams. He doesn't want them to turn into reality. He is thinking about a future, a future that allows him to pursue the distance with peace of mind and look up at the stars above his head.
Yin En slowly opened his eyes.
For a moment, he saw nothing, but it seemed as if everything about him was right in front of him. The seasonal movement in the battle that took place in the Avak Central Laboratory, in the deepest part of the subspace labyrinth, appeared again.
He saw a star.
A pale blue star.
The light that guides the distance, the star that hangs forever in the sky.
A feeling of enlightenment emerged in his heart, as if the dust in his heart had been wiped away, and the mirror was bright and clear again, just like a glass of water when he was thirsty, making his body finally peaceful.
But Yin En suddenly backed away.
He broke free from this illusion.
A gust of cool wind suddenly blew up, stirring up dust and fallen leaves on the street. The clothes of Yin En and Teacher Gan Song were fluttering. Yin En, with clear eyes, looked at the calm and indifferent fairy again.
"You have a big, big obsession..."
Gan Song sensed that his spiritual energy was being broken free, but he was not surprised. The fairy mentor flew around Yin En and said thoughtfully: "Sure enough."
She said firmly: "You already have a mind-light body - but you are resisting. Unlike what I thought, it is not the resentment of the dead soul that prevents you from understanding your own mind-light body. You understand it better than anyone else, so you Not willing."
"Why is this? You are more talented than everyone thinks, but you are still not satisfied?"
Yin En was silent for a while, and then he bowed deeply to Master Gan Song: "Thank you very much for your guidance and help... If I hadn't resisted, my inner light body would probably have emerged."
"Um."
The white-haired fairy hummed, neither surprised nor surprised. Obviously, her spiritual power can guide other people's inner light bodies to manifest themselves, and she is truly worthy of the name of fairy mentor.
At this moment, Gan Song looked at Yin En with a smile, curiosity in his eyes: "You actually resist your own heart - only the smartest sages and the stupidest fools can do this. The former is greedy and thirsty. A better future that is out of reach, the latter is ignorance that cannot even recognize itself."
"You are obviously not the latter. So I am wondering what kind of dream you are longing for."
"...The blue star that guides the way forward is indeed my heart's desire."
Saying this, Yin En closed his eyes and opened them again. His eyes were as deep as a deep spring: "But the meaning of the starry sky is countless stars. The galaxy I yearn for should definitely not have only one star."
"There shouldn't be only one blue star. Everyone should have one."
"That's it. There is such a big gap between what I have and what I desire."
"It seems that you don't need my help. You want to carry everything on your back, even the beliefs that others left for you. So keep going, it was a pleasant meeting."
Gan Song sighed softly. This elf mentor was quite free and easy, with crystal-like wings spinning behind his back. She turned around, waved with Hua An behind her back, and was about to leave: "Hua An, I have already seen Frost Butterfly, look. There is indeed a large and well-developed goblin gathering place over there at the South China Sea Labyrinth."
"This is a good opportunity for our department to expand its manpower, so don't fall behind."
At this time, the exchanges between her and Yin En could be heard by others.
Before this, all sounds and wind flows were restrained, and they were not free until this moment.
"tutor--"
Hua An stared blankly at the back of Gan Song, who had disappeared. The black-haired elf lady's eyes gradually widened, and her voice trembled: "But what about the funds? Didn't you say you would give me new funds after seeing Frost Butterfly? !”
"Teacher, don't leave! We don't have enough money to summon the maze exploration team!"
The carefree fairy has left.
It's obvious that Gan Song is a good mentor.
But as Hua An has complained many times in the past.
She has no funds.
"...What are you going to do next?"
Isengard walked forward slowly at this moment, and he felt that Yin En seemed to be a little different at this moment than before - the white-haired boy had clear goals and clear plans as always, but now, he seemed to have finally let go of something.
Therefore, he didn't ask what exactly the two parties talked about. Ethan just asked what they were going to do next.
"I won't sleep today."
Yin En calmly stared at the end of the street at night, the dark road leading to the invisible depths: "I once told a guy whose morals needed to be lowered, saying that he couldn't rest yet... Now it seems that the same is true for me.
."
"The goblin's banquet is over. I'm very happy. It's time to continue working and prepare the drawings and tools for the armor."
He turned his head, looked at his friend, smiled and invited: "Want to come together?"
Isengard was a little stunned at first, but later he also laughed: "Of course."
